Plerixafor-aided mobilization of peripheral blood hematopoietic stem cells to support subsequent high-dose chemotherapy after a prior autologous transplant

MicroAbstract: Plerixafor, a stem cell mobilizer with proven potential to rescue "poorly" mobilizing patients, was applied after salvage chemotherapy (+G-CSF) in a limited series of patients with potentially curable malignancies, who had relapsed after a previous autograft. This led to successful stem cell mobilization in all patients, who experienced sustained engraftment after further high-dose chemotherapy supported by the plerixafor-mobilized stem cells.
